- What does having PPP only have to do with being in an IBM only world?

- Did you select PPP with BOOTP support? This should negotiate the needed
- information automatically for you. It works for me for slip, and AFAIK,
- ppp works similarly. Of course your provider must support BOOTP, but
- it's hard to imagine anyone not supporting it nowadays.

-
- If after trying PPP with BOOTP you still can't get it to work, try
- emailing AmiTCP-Support@nsdi.fi and they'll figure it out for you.
- I may also try PPP to see how it works. If I get it to work I'll let
- you know.
-
- Good luck.
